 C                           F 

Folks in Florida cast their votes

   C          G      C

As all good citizens do

                                F

In West Palm Beach, the ballots read

     C                   G

'To vote for One, punch Two

    F                        C

And once you've punched it, punch it again,

                         G

And give it another good push

    C                               F

You thought you voted for Gore, surprise!!

    C            G         C

You cast your ballot for Bush.'



    F                  C

In Florida the sun is shining

                G

It's early bird dining

             C

And early to bed

      F                          C

The Republicans said: â€œStop the counting”

                 G

Gore's total is mounting

                      C

Let's quit while we're ahead



   C                       F

Katherine Harris hit the switch

    C          G           C

Saying, 'This vote's certified

                           F

Off the Democrats went to court

       C                   G

Like hell the Republicans cried

   F               C

A hundred million votes were cast

                     G

Including yours and mine

    C                    F

But in the end the only ones

     C         G      C

That counted numbered nine





  C                               F

The boys and girls in black robes met

   C       G      C

And held a tug of war



                                  F

And when they cast their votes at last

        C        G

Bush won it, 5 to 4

    F                      C

Five judges selected the president

                      G

Five judges had their way

   C                       F

And I expect they'll all retire

   C    G       C

To Florida some day
